Mission Beach Cafe claims former Ebb and Flow space on 18th and Guerrero

A hop away from the Tartine-Delfina-Bi Rite holy trinity, on the corner of 18th and Guerrero, Ebb and Flow closed as quickly as it opened back in July.

Now, a new regime is giving the prime real estate a go. The two owners of Mission Beach Cafe — Bill Clarke and Alan Carter — are taking it over and will add a second Guerrero Street restaurant to their portfolio.

Name, timeline and exact concept are still in the air, but the pair of partners say that in many ways, the new project will feature a similar format to Mission Beach Cafe (“value-oriented neighborhood fine dining”). That said, they expect to focus more on vegetables and seafood, as opposed to Mission Beach Cafe’s slant towards cafe/bakery fare. In short, the new restaurant will allow them to branch out a bit on the culinary side of things.
